A new research paper titled “Climate Change in Remote Mountain Regions: A Throughfall-Exclusion Experiment to Simulate Monsoon Failure in the Himalayas” by Norbu Wangdi and colleagues from University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Austria, published in special issue of Mountain Research and Development.

This article describes the large-scale throughfall exclusion experiment conducted for the first time in the Bhutan Himalayas to understand the impacts of climate change on forest ecosystems. We demonstrate that large-scale throughfall-exclusion experiments can be successfully conducted even in a remote Bhutan Himalayan setting. The experiences from this research could be used for future long-term ecological monitoring studies in the Himalayan regions.
